Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 3022: 617: Collective Growth
Previously on Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method...
Such is the strength of the unique legendary class [Sealing Demon Book Master]. Gargamel emerges as a legend crafted purely for ferocious bloodbaths!
Naturally, he has hit the current sealing ceiling. Sealing extra level 10s demands breaking into the ten-ring senior domain; failing that invites dangerous backlash.
The Lord of Light and Shadow, a dual-class legend, boasts power matching level 10 mid-stage. Figures like the Bronze Warlord and Blazing Star God Witch shone brilliantly in the fray.
Empress Wanlei shone brightly too, showing women match men in prowess.
Nora boasts few legendary wizards, yet each excels in combat. During this war, numerous legendaries took on two foes at once, stalling many level 10 fighters.
Post-battle, two powerhouses ascended to Ten Rings Perfection.
The first: Frost Witch—no need for elaboration.
The other: Hand of Netherworld, Nix.
An ancient survivor from the era of the Survivor of the Vast Sea and peers, Nix has endured twelve millennia, brimming with profound wisdom and reserves.
From this clash, he claimed the Cross Death Monarch's corpse, boosting his death power to Perfection while enhancing his cemetery with three level 10 Heroic Spirits.
Now, the School of Death holds two legendaries plus one Ten Rings Perfect master.
Their rise eclipses even the storied Elementalist School.
This shift ripples from the top, reshaping the school's trajectory.
Alas, the Ocean School of Thought suffers endless woes, down to just two legendaries after another loss. On a brighter note, North Sea Fish Lucy reaped huge gains here and secluded herself a decade back; success looms for her legendary breakthrough.
Beyond the 17 legendary wizards, spellcasters include one ancient mage.
Eight years prior, Grey Eagle God of Magic, Aurora, climbed to level 10 mid-stage.
Today, Gray Eagle Continent hosts over twenty nine-leaf ancient mages, the runner-up caster force after wizards.
They count one peak level 9 as well.
Known as [Mysterious Master].
In the war, fortune smiled on him; nearly alongside Ms. Lucy, he entered seclusion, striving for level 10 Supreme Mage glory.
Adding fresh allies from outside, alien races field 10 level 10s, featuring the Mythical Creature [Snake of the End] and world tree Pandora.
Noteworthy too:
Pandora’s green elf clan leader [Green Leaf] is a nine-ring perfect wizard. War's gifts might crown him the pioneering legendary elf wizard.
Barbarian tribes stick at seven.
Barbarian Ancestor’s Will of Heaven plus six elite tribal chiefs.
Totem path constraints make spawning new level 7s a nightmare for barbarians. Only the Barbarian Ancestor’s Will pushing to supreme might shatter this impasse.
Yet the six current Barbarian Lords reaped massive boons from the fight.
Half now sit at level 10 mid-stage. The mightiest, Turtle God Barbarian Lord, edges toward level 10 late stage, primed for elite status.
Beast Master civilization clings to 3 Mythical Beast Masters.
Fortune strikes: among battle-captured Nightmare Overlord captives lurks [Illusion Mist Dominator], truly the young Mythical Creature [Starry Mirage Mother].
Bound now to legendary beast master [Thunderbolt King, Lady Bei]—a late level 9—she eyes forging a fourth Mythical Beast Master for her kin.
Giant race commands 5 kings.
Shadow World started with 11, but a peak level 9 surged to level 10 as [Shadow Hunter], swelling their ranks to 12 level 10s.
All told, sans Levi...
Nora wields 55 level 10 fighters, 12 from Void Holy Temple, plus one unaffiliated Primordial Demon Lord—68 total, surpassing pre-war might.
For Nora, war fuels war, turning scraps into triumphs against titans.
Plus, after 90 years of recovery...
Nora's Grand Wizards exploded anew, fueled by Nightmare and Abyss 'resource gift packs,' jumping 20 to hit 240.
Just shy of pre-war peak by a handful.
Nine-level aliens rebound to 320.
This war netted Nora immense spoils with minimal losses; they've absorbed merely a tenth, brimming with expansion room.
With endless outsider influx, by Nora’s third millennium's close, a thousand level 9s seems assured.
Nora buzzes with vitality.
Rebuilding surges ahead.
...
Ten years flashed by like nothing.
Nora Calendar 2500, Blood Battle 2388.
Ancient Banyan Fairyland.
After birthing three siblings, Elena savored two centuries of recovery, ignoring mortal ties—focusing on health, cultivation, or Mahjong fun.
"Mother, where's father off to?"
Third sister Lis, clad in gleaming silver-white armor, radiated heroic flair amid swirling wind and thunder—like tomorrow's star, Elena.
"Likely hammering iron again. What's up?"
"Nothing much. I've hit Fifth-Circle Perfection, grasped the Nine Talents. Like father, I aim for Sixth-Circle via [Infinite Primordial Soul Method]."
"Bold ambition! But this path's brutal. Easier top-tier primordial soul arts exist—are you set on this?"
Elena showed clear surprise.
Among elite primordial soul methods, Infinite Primordial Soul Method's rigor multiplies several-fold—even in resource-rich golden eras with ample oddities. From her intel, only Heim leaned on such a soul.
Oddities matter less.
Forging 81 Maximum Souls tests limits fiercely.
"Yes, I'm resolute."
Lis balled her fist, brimming with resolve.
"Fine, I back you. I'll call father home to share his insights."
